Trialux®: Trialux® is an online laminated Triacell® sheet.

Trialux® is a flat sheet with a cell structure. It has the same unique characteristics as a standard Triacell® sheet. Trialux® can optionally be laminated one- or two-sided.

A wide range of PP-based laminates give Trialux® both an aesthetic added value and technical/functional advantage, to suit your specific application.

This gives Trialux® a large field of application possibilities. The sheet can be further processed into boxes/trays/dividers/…

Available laminates:

Anti-slip, PP foam, spun bond, non-woven, wood imitation, textile, silver & gold foil, decorative & pre-printed films, …

A wide range of PP-based laminates give Trialux® both an aesthetic added value and technical/functional advantage to suit your specific application.
